The new government, the new opposition

"No opposition may abandon its mission, leaving the government more control," said Gianfranco Pasquino Italian political scientist in his book "The Opposition" .
Chilean political culture is accustomed inertia He ruled that the Concertación and the Alliance was in the opposition, during the 20 years that have passed the new Chilean democracy. This changed, but the policy changes do not occur immediately even if this institutionally has already occurred. Change is a process, especially in the case of Chile, where the Coalition ruled for many years, was also in the past, when ruled right next to the Pinochet regime, the Coalition led government assumed a time. In the early years of Aylwin, many activists and leaders of the ruling parties were stuck in a speech democracy dictatorship, that's one reason it took so the discussion of the end of the transition: For its part, the discourse of right at the dawn of the new democracy was that all positive results were obtained thanks to the Coalition inheritance I had left the military government. After a while, both coalitions were placed in the political position that corresponded to either government or opposition, the latter will cost more learning, build a speech, consolidate party unity. Recall that during the Aylwin and even during the first part of Frei, the opposition became entangled in constant infighting, which was even involved the current President of Chile, the case of eavesdropping, called Piñera-Gate is just one of the many disagreements between the then opposition parties. From the first nomination for President of Joaquin Lavin, the right assumes the that called Pasquino front and organized opposition.
For its part, the Coalition knows, in another context, which is to be opposition. The opposition of the second half of the decade of '1980s Aylwin was able to consolidate what has been called "the meeting and unity of opposites" as well as having had a single political speech, which was the peaceful return to democracy and a program defined government, called "alternative project". But the interesting thing also is that the coalition, and opposition was able to put a positive political concepts that have negative bias, opposition is a concept that connotes the opposite, from impediment, obstacle, of deconstruction, in order to negative. In this sense, the confrontation of October 1988 plebiscite, managed to put the "NO" as a positive element of hope and unity.
At present, the Government must quickly learn to govern, not with cash but with programmatic and ideological policies that distinguish the previous government the Coalition. Thus, as the seal of the Aylwin government was reconciliation and growth with equity, the government unlike Aylwin is not foundational, must quickly find a stamp of government ideology.
For its part, the Coalition is to quickly learn to be opposition, no longer governs the executive branch and does not represent the same political coalition that was founded in February 1988. The coalition as we knew that coalition is not born to defeat the dictatorship whose survival was subject to govern responsibly Chile. From the Conclusion of the founding fathers, many changes have occurred and today the first thing is to adapt their games to new social and political reality that lives Chile. As ever socialists, Christian Democrats and Social Democrats joined in a political context, to defeat a dictatorship and consolidated democracy, the unity of the opposition must be above all ideological, not only to regain power is far beyond a holding company. The center-left parties should understand that before consolidating the unity of the opposition, to modernize and meet the new requirements that society demands of the opposition and then reveal whether or not the Coalition as a conglomeration of ideas, and if so , show the country that is a real opposition, which aims to lead the country again with a new project.

How Long Does It Take To Get Head Lice

The failed nomination of trust charges Piñera. Part 2

During the presidential campaign, the current President of Chile, harshly criticized public officials confidence that the Coalition was in government of former President Bachelet, due to the apparent involvement of these in the campaign of candidate Eduardo Frei, among the judgments noted Piñera, one that stands out of their boxes to the then Minister of Interior Pérez Yoma, "should wake up early" to seek employment in private.
Having regard to its previous comments, surprisingly, the delay in the appointment, the first of his ministers, deputies, mayors, some Super Intendant and even there no more. It turns out that now once assumed, few National Directors and Regional Services, Governors, and part of the SEREMIS 1,300 positions of trust which should have previously designated by the President Piñera. Some will blame the earthquake, as will be customary for the current executive, but the fact is that the earthquake but has a National significance, affected mainly to 4 regions.
4 years ago, exactly on March 1, 2006, the elected President Bachelet appointed without much pomp to its Regional Mayors and Governors and days after his SEREMIS these names in that same period, all positions designated by law permits. Even before the earthquake on February 27, Piñera gets out in statements such as "exchange of equipment," the new way of governing, "the government of the best", but objectively it has not been diligent about the appointment of its staff, this matters, because the catastrophe that crossing to Chile, should be the new authorities which lead reconstruction of the country, many of these have not yet been appointed and when they are, have very little time for his induction, contrary to what the current situation warrants.
The new president knows that he should appoint at least 1300 positions of trust and this did not happen, more so most trusted positions in the middle levels are occupied by the same officials whom the President at the time criticized very belligerent. The question then is, "if the President elect will be able in the coming days to appoint all its employees and these new authorities, how they will take the reins of a country which is crossed by one of the biggest disasters its history?
concerned, since it is very difficult for authorities without inducing the public system without knowing how the state, with most ministers do not have enough political experience, and assertiveness can quickly lead the reconstruction of Chile. In this sense, it is very important that the media, with objectivity and thoroughness, requiring the new As government has demanded the current and measure the new president with the same yardstick that has been measured driving Bachelet.
The ideal would have been that the new Ministers, Deputy Minister, Mayors, Governors, Heads of Service SEREMIS, Regional Directors etc., Had accompanied their peers in the days of the disaster complex, especially the authorities of the regions most affected . There has been, and I think more to see and criticize as the previous government works to overcome the crisis, was required at that time, rather than statements call for "national unity", as noted repeatedly the new President, were concrete actions and of working together.
Democracy is so, on March 11 President Piñera took their little "new equipment" of trust, with little experience in public policy and less on responding to disasters like the one I happen to live in Chile today. The governments of the Concertación, became evidence of droughts, earthquakes, floods, volcanic eruptions and other disasters, were teams of the time, unfortunately, will now be open to many doubts. We do not know the all new equipment Piñera, maybe it's part of the style of the new form of government, confirmed in their posts to them "inefficient" officials of the Government of the Conclusion.

The appointment of new Governors, a late response

4 years ago, exactly on March 1, 2006, the elected President Bachelet appointed without drums to Regional Governor, now President-elect Sebastián Piñera has not been able to appoint the regional authorities, more so with the earthquake that hit Chile in the early hours of Saturday February 27 and catastrophe across our country, have heard the phrases always adorned with many synonyms and noted repeatedly that they are working with cabinet of the future government in the answers the country needs. The truth is not seen nothing, the proof of this, is that it has appointed regional authorities and now promised to appoint, for the moment, the mayors of the affected areas, when it should have done immediately after the earthquake and have not announced.
addition to appointing the mayors, the new government should already be appointed to the various department heads, SEREMIS, ambassadors, etc. Even before the earthquake on 27F, Piñera gets out in declarations, but has not been an executive in the appointment of its staff, this matters, because the catastrophe that crossing to Chile, should be the new authorities to lead the reconstruction Country, they are not as they are designated shall not be induced as the situation warrants.
The new president knows he must appoint at least 1300 positions of trust and this has not happened. The question that arises is, "if the President elect will be able in the coming days to appoint all its employees and these new authorities, how they will take the reins of a country which is crossed by the biggest disaster in its history?
concerned because it is very difficult for authorities without inducing the public system without knowing how the state, with most ministers do not have enough political experience, and assertiveness can quickly lead the reconstruction of Chile. In this It is therefore very important that the media, with objectivity and thoroughness, requiring the new government has demanded that the current and measure the new president with the same yardstick that has been measured to the conduct of Bachelet.
The ideal would have been that the new Ministers, Deputy Minister, Governors, Heads of Service SEREMIS, Regional Directors etc., Had accompanied their peers these days, especially the authorities of the regions most affected. There has been, and I think more to see how the government works on ending the crisis, now more than statements of call for "national unity" and has repeatedly stated the new President, what was needed was concrete actions and work together.
Perhaps, they note that many authorities will be confirmed as a sign of "national unity", but the duty of the President Piñera was already before the 27F have been appointed to trusted partners, especially the mayors, because they can The junior and current officials of trust the current government, taking orders from those who have neither the experience nor the knowledge to make the decisions the country at the present time requires
Democracy is so, on March 11 must assume President Piñera with their new teams confidence, data were limited experience in public policy and less in response to disasters like the one I happen to live in Chile today. The governments of the Concertación, became evidence of droughts, earthquakes, floods, volcanic eruptions and other disasters, were teams of the time, unfortunately a few days to take the new government, still do not know the new equipment Piñera, perhaps the part of the style of the new form of government.
